Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Clarinet
When teaching students who are young, I would first start off with the fundamentals. For example, I would explain music terms to them and develop the new language from there. Once the student has a basic understanding of music, I would then talk about the Circle of Fifths and encourage them to participate in events like concerts or festivals in school. When becoming a young adult, I would then discuss competitions and help them prepare for college auditions. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching music for the last 17 years. I teach ages from 10 to adult. My music teaching incorporates Russian classical methods and the best traditions of Russian piano performance school. I also incorporate pop, rock and jazz into students' curriculum. It is important for me to know that my student is enjoying the lesson. I encourage my student to enter competitions and recitals so they can feel good about their achievements. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience started back in my last few years of college. I was always hands on with learning the tricks and tips about playing the piano. I involved myself with my peers. I helped them with practicing and figuring out techniques. To my peers, I gave constructive feedback for techniques, harmony, play style, musical sense, and anything related. This helped me realize teaching others was fun and enjoyable. Therefore I started teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I tailor each lesson to the individual student and we set realistic goals. Some students want to learn more challenging pieces and we may work on the latter for a few weeks to a even a few months. Other students feel better working on one piece a week and then moving on. I give great constructive feedback to help improve the students rhythm, musicality, musicianship, and finger placement. All of my students practice more when they love a piece so I try to assign them pieces that interest them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my college days teaching private lessons both in my home studio and students' homes, and have been consistently teaching students in their homes for the last 13 years. Encouraging younger students to have a consistent schedule for a regular practice will help the students progress and gain a passion for the instrument. Combining classical and modern music help students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
While studying to complete my BA through Cal Poly Pomona, I have had the privilege of touring with Cal Poly Pomona's University Concert Choir for at least three years. I have been heavily involved with this choir for a total of 5 years, and I was appointed as Section Leader for the Sopranos for one term, which meant hard work and dedication almost paid off back then. This was the period of my gigging days because some of these tours were paid tours where all of singers were paid to perform around SoCal. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Probably my piano teacher, Dr. Susan Boettger. As a graduate of the Julliard school of music, she was able to precisely see in a student their potential and capabilties in a way that they haven't even realized in themselves yet. She was able to do this because of an absolute mastery in her abilties and understanding of her field to the point where she was able to push and guide someone to be at their absolute best. I think this trait rubbed off on me over time as a teacher even as I have switched instruments. All the things she told me back then that I didnt yet quite understand or see resonate with me now more strongly than ever and it shows in my enthusiasm and willingness to do whatever it takes to see my students success.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
PRACTICE SLOWLY. Your mind often understands things faster than your muscle memory can so it is EXTREMELY important to start things out slow and then build up speed as you get more and more comfortable. Playing along to a metronome also helps immensely in order to gauge and measure your learning efficiency as well as promote and insure proper technique. Finally, its also important in the long run to get used to playing to a metronome (or a click) especially if you plan on playing live and or get into recording and composition. Finally, ALWAYS keep in mind that learning is NOT a competition. Its a chance for you to discover new ways to keep yourself feeling motivated and inspired.
When will I start to see results?
It really depends on the person and how much dedicated time one puts into their practices. For some, it might be as fast as 2 weeks. For others, it might take about a month or two. Either way, the main important thing to remember is that how much effort goes in is usually how much that comes out. Its important for me as a teacher to gauge each student's learning capacity and give them tips into practicing more efficiently that caters to their needs and conditions.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Whenever they express enthusiasm and or a genuine interest and desire in it consistently over a period of time. Its important to allow them to explore their curiosity and nurture it at a young age in order for them to have time to develop healthy habits and outlooks on things later on down the road. You never know, it can probably even change their lives like it has for me! Finally, it is important that your child understands the responsibility of commitment before enrolling them into lessons. As the saying goes, "you can take a horse to the river, but you can't force it to drink". Therefore, talk to them and more importantly ENCOURAGE them to keep going when it gets rough for them and see how you can get more involved in their musical journey.
